Write a comment responding to any or all of the following:
Why might the same writer choose to use dialect for “When Malindy Sings” and standard English for “We Wear the Mask”? Who is speaking in the poems? Who is the audience for the poem? Would the poems be as effective if they were written in standard English instead of dialect, and vice versa?
Your response should be at least five complete sentences. Remember to include your name and class period.
